My sister talked me into trying the Neti Pot. The price is great, compared to other brands like HydraSense and you get a lot more uses out of the Neti Pot too..
You mix a packet of the salt mix with warm water, tilt head and pour into one nostril. I did this as the directions said, but my nose was too stuffed and nothing happened. Later I tried it again and got it to work, it was slightly unpleasant but when you get the hang of it it's much easier to do. When I was done I had the water-in-the-nose feeling like you get after swimming, but it didn't clear up my nose. Instead it seemed to make it more runny. My sister said to wait a few hours for it to work, but maybe my allergies were too bad. I have tried it another 3 times since then and got the same results.
Nothing spectacular!

I received a free sample of the Neti Pot through facebook. I have allergies all year round so I thought this would really work for me in clearing my sinuses and secretions. The instructions were easy enough to follow and all you need is included in the package. I gave it a try and immediately felt like I was swimming and got water up my nose. The salt in the solution made my throat and ears itchy and I felt worse after using it than I had before! I find this to be very awkward to use.
